If you get angry or do some petty shit to “get even”, regardless of the situation, you’ve already let them win because they have more power and influence over your life than vice versa.
If you do something in retaliation that’s dumb and childish and identifiable back to you, it looks petty.
If you do something childish and dumb but it can’t be tracked back to you that person just thinks it’s bad luck, having no idea it’s your idea of “payback”. Really a lose-lose situation.
